Question 1

weak positive histone antibody, negative ana, elevated sed rate, elevated c-reactive protein. elevated white blood cell. doctor says its nothing. i believe signs point to drug induced lupus. what could this be? what causes positive histone antibody?

Accepted Answer

: It is impossible to answer your question because you do not present your pertinent medical history such as symptoms, signs, current illness(es) and medication(s). We can't make the diagnosis base on these lab results which are abnormal but relatively nonspecific.

Question 2

i had blood work done on day three of having the flu. liver enzyme function and c reactive protein came back elevated. could this be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Please discuss with your doctor to see if the tests should be repeated once you have recovered from the infection.

Question 3

what does elevated c reactive protein mean on blood work? mine showed 15 and reference range is 8. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

How do you FEEL?: Nobody really knows what to do with this lab. It's ordered by physicians because people with very severe atherosclerosis produce the stuff in the plaques themselves "making it a risk factor". In people who appear otherwise healthy, it's not clear that a mild elevation like this means anything at all. I'd stay fit and stop worrying.

Question 4

what could cause chronic high white blood count, chronic high c reactive protein and occasional high neutrophils and lymph system values.

Accepted Answer

C reactive protein: an elevated c reactive protein is an indicator of inflammation in your body.  It is elevated after surgery, with cancer of the lymph nodes, vasculitis such as lupus, or chronic infections such as chronic infections of the bone.  The high white count and high neutrophil count could be due to infection. The abnormal lymphocytes could be due to lymphoma or viral infection.  Get checked ASAP.

Question 5

are elevated ldh, uric acid & c-reactive protein related to  serious  disease ? blood count are normal expect lymphocytes & platelete low,splenomegaly

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: LDH and C-reactive protein are non specific tests Uric acid elevation may be associated with gout

Question 6

what illnesses could cause these results? wbc 12.4 10*9/l neutrophil 9.47 10*9/l eosinophil 0.44 10*9/l nucleated red blood cells 0.2 c reactive protein 17 inorganic phosphate 0.69 mmol/l repeating test next wk alongisde liver function?

Accepted Answer

: We could not tell what your problem is due to lack of medical history and physical exam. You did not mention RBC, Hb/Hct and Plt so I assume those are within normal limits.
The only thing we can say for sure is these blood test results are abnormal and that's why you will have a follow up test.

Question 7

is faceal calprotectin same as testing for c - reactive protein in blood test ? do they test for same thing or different organism ?

Accepted Answer

Different: It's a screen from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and perhaps other inflammatory problems specific to the gut. The C-reactive protein is a test (in my opinion often misleading) for systemic inflammation.

Question 8

i had a c reactive protein blood test of 45 is this unusually high?

Accepted Answer

It is high: But remember this is very nonspecific for any type of inflammation. Infections, autoimmune diseases, cancers and other assorted problems can cause this. The is difficult to interpret without knowing more about why the test was done.  Hope this helps.

Question 9

had c-reactive protein blood test. it shows my level is 1.55 ( normal is anything under .80). is mine considered really  high??

Accepted Answer

Depends: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, you did not provide the units of the result, however, it does not seem too high. See this site for more information on this topic.

Question 10

can a c reactive protein blood test detect peyronies inflamation?if not ,how come?what sort of diseases can it find?

Accepted Answer

No: The CRP is almost always normal in that disorder.
